Default Temperature of CPU?

Where can I see the temperature of the CPU?

You can see the Speedfan chart here, of CPU core temperatures.

If the GPU is doing the movie encoding (NVenc), you
can use GPU-z to chart the video card temperature. Both
AMD and NVidia cards have video encoder and decoder blocks,
but a limited number of them. They're also limited on
what CODECs they support. Encoding a movie won't drive
a video card to as high a temperature as this test case would.
Video encoding by card, only uses a tiny fraction
of the card.

Forgot to change the .org to .cc . The CPU only managed 46C under load,
not really all that impressive. And at low temperatures, the error
bars on Core Temps are pretty big. Your dollar store thermometer would
do a better job. The closer to the throttle temperature, the more
accurate the Core Temp sensors. If it was reading 99C, it might then
be +/-1C. At lower temps, it can be off by a fair amount, and
some cores will appear to run "sub-ambient" while idle.
